Anthem. Par PURCELL HENRY. The Anthem, in the post-Reformation church music of England was initially the term given to a choral work with an English biblical text. By the end of the 17th century it begins to take on Italian stylistic elements and becomes a cantata for solo voices, choir and orchestra. The anthem 'O sing unto the Lord' presented here, based on words of the 96th Psalm, is a particul…

Welcomed repetition and smart voice leading pave the way to success for developing 3-part choirs. The guys sing in their easiest range- the sopranos, a mostly step-wise melody- and the altos, intuitive harmonies. Add the optional sleighbells and it's ready to go for Christmas. / 3 Parties Mixtes

Par L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER (Arr.). Oh Shenandoah dates back to the early nineteenth century, with possible origins in Virginia. Sometimes referred to as a ‘shanty’ song because of its refrain (‘away, you rolling river,’ etc.), its lyrics exist in many versions and can be seen as a paean either to the river itself, or perhaps to the (mythical?) daughter of an Indian chief of that name. Regardless of …

Par L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER (Arr.). Jingle Bells dates from the mid-nineteenth century and is thought to be one of the first secular Christmas songs to ?top the charts?. It is in fact not about Christmas at all but instead about the ?Cutter? drag races in Boston, where young men would race sleighs and attempt to impress the girls with their speed. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles serie…

Par KANDER JOHN / BEALE CHARLES (Arr.). John Kander and Fred Ebb created a number of 20th-century show classics, including Cabaret and Kiss of the spider woman, but Chicago! is perhaps their greatest and best-loved show of them all.

Par L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER (Arr.). Danny Boy (the melody of which is also known as Londonderry Air), is often assumed to be an old, traditional tune, however its structure and meter do not fit any of the known Irish folksong forms. As for the words most commonly associated with it for the last hundred years or so, they were written by an English lawyer who apparently never set foot in Ireland! Still…
